Report: Redskins Players Already Unhappy with Kirk Cousins

This Redskins season couldn’t be going much worse. A pair of home losses to open the season, including one to the bitter rival Dallas Cowboys, and now reports of discontent in the locker room are emerging.

“I asked the source whether the players who are griping would prefer Colt McCoy,” Florio writes. “Said the source, ‘At least he’d play with poise.'”

Well, that’s not ideal.

106.7 The Fan’s Brian McNally told The Sports Junkies on Monday morning that it seemed unlikely that Redskins players would already be talking poorly of their quarterback, just two weeks into the season.

Kirk gets an F. The interception was as bad as it gets. But the defense could have bailed him out and didn't. Gave up 11 play 80 yd drive

Nonetheless, there is some precedent here. For example, receiver DeSean Jackson appeared to call out quarterback Robert Griffin III in 2014 with a profanity-laced Instagram post.

But that was in November, not mid-September. Cousins had one of the best seasons for a quarterback in Redskins history last year, but he started the year slowly. He’s started this year slowly, even though he’s thrown for 693 yards in two games (339.5 per game), but Washington is already in a fairly significant hole.

A loss in Week 3, a road game against the division rival New York Giants, would put the Redskins at 0-3 and the Giants at 3-0, and both the Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles next play the Chicago Bears. If the Bears (0-1) lose both of those games, the Redskins will enter Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns down at least two games to each of the three other teams in the NFC East.

0-2 with both losses at home is basically insurmountable. Only 1 team has overcome it since 1990. Sux cuz that game was so winnable too.
